"Flash forward to today [paper set in 2015 ~Ed.] - open source is the default; 78% of businesses are now operating on open source software. Phipps quoted another interesting fact - more than 50% of businesses state that they find the open source option more secure than proprietary software. The reason? Everyone is looking at the source code and using it, and what everyone uses, everyone is interested in safeguarding."
